Description

A bold and brilliant debut from a darkly funny new voice.Oskar is a minimalist composer best known for a piece called Variations on Tram Timetables.

He is married to a Californian art dealer named Laura and he lives with two cats, named after Russian composers, in an Eastern European city.But this book isn't really about Oskar.

Oskar is in Los Angeles, having his marriage dismantled by lawyers.

He has entrusted an old university friend with the task of looking after his cats, and taking care of his perfect, beautiful apartment.Despite the fact that Oskar has left dozens of surreally detailed notes covering every aspect of looking after the flat, things do not go well.Care of Wooden Floors is about how a tiny oversight can trip off a disastrous and farcical (fatal, even) chain of consequences.

It's about a friendship between two men who don't know each other very well.

It's about alienation and being alone in a foreign city.

It's about the quest for perfection and the struggle against entropy. And it is, a little, about how to take care of wooden floors.
